Bigfoot ate my internet connection

When I moved to my funky little cabin in Loleta, one of the things that made me happiest was a close unsecured wireless internet connection named Loletalag. Since I'm still paying off a contract I no longer use with a nasty satellite company, pilfered internet is the only thing within my budget.

Several weeks ago the Loletalag connection suddenly disappeared. At first I thought that perhaps the owners had gone on vacation or that maybe something was wrong with their computer, but with a heavy heart I'm sad to report that Loletalag seems to be gone for good. My days of free stolen internet are over, which is also the main reason for my blog slacking.

I have so many stories to share, so I'll do what I can when my boss isn't looking. And if you know any good wifi hot spots around Loleta and Fortuna, let me know. Especially if they're in close proximity to cheap alcohol and/or strong coffee.

If you have a lap top, you can come over to our house and use the wi-fi. And yes, the Gilded Rose has a sign that states free Wi-fi. Maybe a lap top party at the Gilded Rose soon. No, Kristabel and Mresquan, I mean lap top not lap dance!

Too bad that Humboldt Hotspots web site went by the wayside. I found this other wifi web site, though, and it shows that Fortuna's Hot Brew is supposed to have a public wireless connection. Of couse, that's a bit distant from Loleta.http://tinyurl.com/az6zlr

You might try a search for Loleta using your own address. I tried it just using Loleta, CA and got no hits.
